Mike LiljaDayton, MNA founding member of AHC, Mike first planted hazels in 2008 after a course on permaculture design inspired him to create a perennial cropping system. He continues to experiment with permaculture, growing hazelnuts among asparagus, raspberries, and more. In his free time, you can find Mike taking photos, enjoying the night sky, and traveling. His favorite hazelnut dish is fresh asparagus roasted in hazelnut oil.
